Seller Identity
Beyond VAT ID and tax number, e-invoices can carry additional seller identifiers used by particular recipients and routing systems. Populate an identifier only when you know who issued it and which scheme the receiver expects.
Fields
Stores > Configuration > MageB2B > E-Invoice > Company Information
| Field | Scheme | Use Case | Where it lands |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seller Legal Name (BT-27) | Not set | Legal entity name — required for every format | Seller / Name (CII) / PartyLegalEntity / RegistrationName (UBL) |
| VAT ID | Not set | Seller tax identification used by the formatters | Seller / SpecifiedTaxRegistration (VA) |
| Tax Number | Not set | German Steuernummer | Seller / SpecifiedTaxRegistration (FC) |
| Company Registration Number | Not set | HRB / HRA | Seller / LegalOrganization / ID |
| SIRET Number | Not set | French businesses (Factur-X) | Seller / SpecifiedTaxRegistration (FC) |
| Seller Trading Name (BT-28) | Not set | Alternative business name | Seller / LegalOrganization / TradingBusinessName (CII) / Party / PartyName (UBL) |
| Seller GLN | 0088 |
GS1 Global Location Number for logistics/PEPPOL | Seller / GlobalID |
| Seller DUNS Number | 0060 |
Dun & Bradstreet identifier for international B2B | Seller / GlobalID |
| Seller Leitweg-ID | 0204 |
Used when the seller itself is a public entity | Seller / GlobalID (XRechnung only) |
| Seller Contact (Name/Phone/Email) | Not set | Required for XRechnung (BR-DE-2, PEPPOL-R020) | Seller / DefinedTradeContact |
Seller Legal Name is read strictly from einvoice/company/seller_legal_name; the Magento store information name is not consulted at generation time. A data patch seeded existing installations from Stores > General > Store Information > Store Name, so verify the migrated value once after updating — generation fails validation when the field is empty.
Requirements vary by format and receiver. The module's company-data check validates its local rules; the recipient may require additional identifiers.
Tax Representative (BG-11 / BT-63)
The module can declare a fiscal representative for a seller configuration that requires one. Whether a representative is legally needed is an accounting/legal decision outside the extension.
Stores > Configuration > MageB2B > E-Invoice > Tax Representative
| Setting | Notes |
|---|---|
| Enable Tax Representative | Master switch, off by default |
| Representative Name | Legal entity name |
| Representative VAT ID (BT-63) | Mandatory |
| Street / Postcode / City / Country | Address of the representative |
The tax representative is only emitted for profiles that support BG-11:
| Format | Supports BG-11? |
|---|---|
| EN16931 | Yes |
| XRechnung | Yes |
| ZUGFeRD EN16931 / Extended | Yes |
| Factur-X EN16931 / Extended | Yes |
| ZUGFeRD Minimum / Basic / BASIC WL | No (not in schema) |
| PEPPOL BIS Billing 3.0 | Yes |
Best Practices
- Leave GLN and DUNS empty unless a counterpart or delivery provider explicitly asks for them.
- Fill in Seller Trading Name if your marketing name differs from the legal name on the commercial register.
- If you already use a Leitweg-ID for buyers and occasionally sell as a public entity yourself, set the seller-side Leitweg-ID under this section.
- Fiscal representative data is visible on every invoice. Enable it only when you actually have one.
